Should people have to "code switch"?
People should have to 'code switch' because it is what propels us as an American culture. Moving forward from our old ways and becoming educated.
What is the "standard" for American English? Is it race related?
The standard for American English is proper, pronounced English.
It is race related in the sense that some cultures have trouble pronouncing certain words, but i feel it should not affect the African American race like it does because unlike those of other cultures whose race causes a speech impediment, they simply refuse to speak the other method.
Should it be a teacher's job to correct speech? Why/Why not?
It should be a teacher's job to correct speech because it propels the learners ability which is the teachers job.
Should the race of a teacher matter in the correction of a student's speech? Why/Why not?
Is correcting speech the same as correcting a math problem? Why/Why not?
The race of the teacher should not matter in the correction of the student's speech because a teacher should speak correct English because they are teaching. Correcting speech is not the same as correcting a math problem, because it is not as short and easy as that of a math problem, it requires time, endurance, and patience.
